Footstep Power Generation

Description

In this project, we are generating electrical power using the non-conventional method by simply footstep-based power generation.

The non-conventional energy system is very essential at this time to our nation. Non-conventional energy using human energy is converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. This project uses simple drive mechanisms such as rack and pinion assembly and chain drive mechanisms. In this project conversion of the force energy into electrical energy takes place. The control mechanism carries the rack & pinion, D.C generator, battery and inverter control. We have discussed the various applications and further extensions also. The D.C generator used in this project is the Permanente Magnet D.C generator. The Generator is coupled to the Ply wheel Shaft with the help of Spur Gear Mechanism.

The output of the generator is approximately 2-3 Volts. This Voltage is stored in a Battery.
